Sanskrit Text

कर्णौ शब्दश्च चित्तं त्रयः श्रवणसंग्रहे तथा स्पर्शे तथा रूपे तथैव रसगन्धयोः

English Translation

In the act of hearing, three causes must exist simultaneously, viz., the two ears, sound, and the mind. The same is the case with the perception of touch; the same with that of form; the same with that of taste and smell.
